Listen to the people who told those stories. The authors of some of the most compelling books weve read and talked about this year. These men and women take us where we cant go ourselves. The childhood bedroom of a future dictator and friend of donald trump. The daring escape from capture by one of the most wanted men in the world.

Judge blackman made a good First Impression on the sfwhoors will help decide his fate, and barring the unexpected his nomination should sail through. Thus far no one has even asked to testify against him. But the unexpected already has occurred twice. So most senators still are not committing themselves. They find a super uncontroversial strategy worked for that nomination. Harry blackmuns nomination to the court was unanimously approved by the senate. On june 9th, 1970 he was sworn in to the court. For a guy chosen because he was seen as the most middle of the road nonoffensive guaranteed noncontroversial guy to stick in that spot, Justice Blackmun would go on just a couple of years later to write one of the most controversial u.
